Is a high school IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) enough documentation?
No, not alone. An IEP does provide useful information about the strategies, resources and accommodations that a student has utilized, and implies that the student was once diagnosed with a disability or learning deficiency. But, clinically speaking, it is not evidence of a particular learning disability. If the student had not been tested or retested in a number of years, it would be wise to be tested again to have up-to-date documentation, which most colleges and all certification exam boards require. What is Appropriate Documentation? Documentation for a learning disability is the full report of testing by the physician or psychologist who performed the tests. Criteria for Acceptable Documentation 1) A qualified professional, such as a licensed psychologist or physician must conduct the evaluation 2) Testing must be comprehensive and include: • The diagnostic interview • The neuropsychological or psycho-educational evaluation of: Aptitude Achievement Information Processing Other Asse
